Chapter 65: Natural Disaster
An idea arose spontaneously in Jin Xilan's mind.
She hooked her lips and leaked a smile: "Go back to the Liuchen shop." ”
"Huh? I also went to the Liuchen store, the heart black over there can't be darker anymore, it's more than tripled!! ”
"Go back."
Youru was confused, but she also obediently listened to Jin Xilan's words.
When the owner of the Liuchen shop saw that Jin Xilan had come back again, he knew that he had hit a wall, and couldn't help but sneer: "Madame, didn't you buy it?" ”
Jin Xilan said: "I bought all the grain in your rice shop." ”
After saying that, she asked people to carry out two boxes of silver taels.
The corners of the owner's mouth really couldn't hold it back, and he was worried that the autumn harvest was about to be cleared, so he only hated to increase the price.
The owner was afraid that Jin Xilan would regret it, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Er and the others to take back Jin Xilan's silver taels.
"Madam, that's right, doing business naturally means improvising, and I'll send someone to deliver food to your house later."
His sideways face was smiling like a flower.
"Oh, no, I'll arrange it myself." She was cold, her voice did not have a trace of warmth, and she did not want to face the owner.
Jin Xilan didn't want this kind of person to go back on his word and make black money, knowing where the granary was.
She ordered the strong men who brought her to carry a cartload of rice and grain.
These days, Jin Xilan has been busy transporting grain and taking care of the three yards, and Youru Songmi has also been busy behind him, and it took a while to have a frown.
The long wind was howling, and this long-planned torrential rain finally fell at sunset, blowing Zhu Hu squeaking, and the oblique drizzle poured in, the sky was dark and cloudy, and the clouds overhead rolled, and the fog was misty, and it was dark in the distance, covering the clouds.
Frost is coming, and floods are coming.
Jin Xilan was confused, the things of the past life, this life must be impossible to escape, and she can't control man-made disasters, let alone natural disasters.
She pinched her eyebrows.
Songmi came in and lit incense, warm with a woody tail, she smelled very comfortable, she asked Songmi, "Can the grain be moved?" ”
Songmi closed the Zhu household tightly to prevent the rain from coming in.
"Master, everything is arranged, and the people installed by the general are also in place."
Jin Xilan nodded, I was afraid that even Shi Du would definitely know what was guarding in the courtyard, after all, these were Shi Du's people.
Since he didn't ask, she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.
Sure enough, it was supposed to be autumn harvest time, and it rained for several days.
Jin Xilan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the silver thread like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate.
I'm afraid that this disaster will kill many people.
As expected, there was a rupture of the embankment in the Yellow River area, and the sound of water was like thunder, flooding fertile fields and washing away houses.
But after half a month, many ragged and embarrassed refugees struggled to forage for food in the wilderness, and some refugees made their way north to Kyoto.
After this shower, the rain finally stopped.
Jin Xilan was wearing a pinching jacket inside, holding a token and saying to Songmi: "Go to Nanyuan and take a look." ”
The two responded in unison, and hurriedly prepared the sedan chair.
The rain-soaked road was not easy to walk, the carriage flickered, and Jin Xilan listened to the curtain lifted outside.
There were a few ragged people on the road, knocking on tattered bowls, and some people were lying on the ground.
Jin Xilan was moved.
Suddenly, the carriage was stopped, and a woman with a baby in her arms blocked the way, only to see that the lady was in dirty clothes, her face was sallow, and the child in her arms was crying.
The groom cursed: "If you want to die, don't you dare to stop the carriage?" ”
She knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and her eyes were teary, "Please ask the rich and noble people to do a good job and reward some silver taels to save our mother and daughter, my daughter is sick and has been coughing, please beg the well-wishers to give some silver taels to see the disease." ”
Youru said: "Master, this person is strange and pitiful, do you want to reward them with some silver taels?" ”
Songmi looked at Jin Xilan's face.
According to the temperament of the master, he should give them to them.
"Go and invite their mother and daughter up."
"Master, why is that?"
"If you reward them with silver taels, and so many refugees around you see it, don't they all have to surround it, and when the time comes, who will help her, and invite her to come up, just so that I can take a look at the child's physical condition."
Youru suddenly realized.
It turns out that the master is so thoughtful, and the master's medical skills are not too much better than some people.
So saying, she invited the two men up.
The woman couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Jin Xilan's face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, I have offended a lot, and I hope to forgive, I don't want to stop the carriage, please do well, and reward some silver taels to save my child." ”
Jin Xilan saw that her face was swollen, and the baby in her arms was also thin, with a hungry yellow complexion, coughing, and a yellow nose.
"You take her mouth open and I'll see."
The woman was stunned.
Songmi explained: "Our wife has excellent medical skills, you can rest assured. ”
Then the woman came to her senses, and went to pick up the baby's mouth, but saw that the baby's tongue was red and yellow.
It should be caused by the hot wind attacking the lungs and the poor yin and yang.
"Just boil the mulberry white skin, honeysuckle, and almonds and feed a little." After speaking, she took a pen and wrote down the medicine sticker and handed it to her.
"This is a medicine patch, press this to grab the medicine, and it will be cured in one course of treatment."
Songmi took out some silver taels from her purse and gave them to the woman: "This is given to you by the lady, take the medicine, and hide it so that others will not see it." ”
The woman was so excited that she left tears in her eyes, and she couldn't stop crying: "Madame, Bodhisattva's heart, I will definitely go to heaven to bless you." ”
She kowtowed before retreating.
At the same time, above the court, Jun Bai frowned when he looked at the recital of the book, a disaster fell from the sky, the people were not able to make a living, and the Yellow River burst its embankment.
Many ministers have written invitations.
"Your Majesty, the refugees have recently arrived in Kyoto, but I am afraid that many refugees will freeze to death in the cold along the way, and Your Majesty will have to take care of it anymore."
"Natural disasters have come to the world, do you have any good ideas?"
All the ministers are your words and I have a word.
Jun Bai suddenly said: "How has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been learning from the prince in recent days?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Taifu Dao has made a lot of progress."
Jun Bai nodded in relief.
The minister who was on the side of the prince would naturally speculate on the holy will, and mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this juncture, did he deliberately want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make meritorious service?
"Chen Dou dares to think that it is better to let His Majesty the Crown Prince take charge of this matter, but he can also see the ability of His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Wechen also thinks he can give it a try."
Shi Du on the side frowned, so that Jun Xiushan, who had no ink on his chest, estimated that he would not be able to do a big thing.
However, he also understood Jun Bai's meaning, he wanted Jun Xiushan to perform well to prove himself, and he also wanted to give him a chance to establish his authority.
So far, Jun Xiushan is not under house arrest, Jun Xiushan entered the hall, Jun Bai asked him about it, Jun Xiushan learned his Taifu's words and said: "It's better to open the treasury and release grain to solve the needs from time to time." ”
